here i lie lyrics

The look in your eyes is so familiar
But what does it mean?
I’m drawn to you like the sunshine in June
And I need to come clean

All these years that I’ve known you
It’s never happened like this
I’m standing here just tortured by fear
Bleeding for just one kiss

We grow tired, nod our heads
Go our ways to different houses and beds

And I lie awake

I don’t dream of you
Never think of you
And I don’t want to hold your hand
I don’t long for you
Don’t write songs for you
And I don’t breathe when I hear your name

The stars in the sky are so much more bright
When I’m right next to you
But as I lie back, these stars have gone black
And these dark clouds suit my mood

As dangerous as a loaded shotgun
Or so your father once said
But please don’t scream when you shoot
I might bleed on you
From this blow to my head

But it’s okay, I’m still alive
Here in this room I know I’ll survive

And I lie awake

I don’t dream of you
Never think of you
And I don’t want to hold your hand
I don’t long for you
Never wrote this song for you
And I don’t breathe when I hear your name
And I don’t breathe when I hear
